The Ugly Truth: CAD was Never Designed to be Used from Home
COVID-19 has forced businesses globally to rapidly adapt to remote working. Efficiently collaborating and accessing your data from home is now essential to your survival – now, and well into the future.
But stop. There’s a problem… engineering and CAD software was never designed to be used remotely. It needs a high-speed local connection.
Learn the top 3 pitfalls of managing CAD from home, and what you can do to avoid them below:
Working Remotely with Dropbox, OneDrive or Remote Desktop?
These systems can’t handle the size and complexity of engineering datasets:
- Slow data transfers strangle your design performance and crashes your programs.
- Can’t handle ‘folder of file’ data, forcing you to waste time zipping projects, or risk data corruption.
- Network congestion forces your team to work nightshift.
Poor Systems = Poor Practices
To maintain productivity with these systems, your team must copy project data onto their local drive. Sure, this loads fast, but this creates dangerous duplicate datasets.
- Productively stalls as you're held ransom by slow data transfers.
- Duplicate data snowballs into an avalanche of risk and confusion.
- How will you consolidate all this duplicate data when you return to the office?
Find out how to powerfully and productively work from home.

Collaboration and Workflows Break
Duplicate data and poor systems cause your team’s collaboration and workflows to deteriorate:
- All data integrity is lost as your team is lost in version confusions; risking working on or issuing outdated data.
- Errors multiply as uncontrolled files are incorrectly named, moved, deleted and corrupted.
- Knowing what your team is working on, or where the project is at is impossible without constant disruptive status updates.
We surveyed current 12d Synergy users, and they told us that without 12d Synergy, 30-80% of their productivity was lost working from home.
